Entry 27 [Usual filters]

[bittermayfly]

[This is Nagi actually sounding happy for once.]

I have a more secure way of taking notes now. Pen and paper is only good up to a certain point. Yuki, if you want to come look at it, you can.

[He opens his other package, thinking he hung up right,and that happiness completely leaves his voice.]

...why this, of all things?

[Living room Action]

[During one of the few times he's been home lately, he finds that ratty old soccer ball]

Huh? What's this? I don't remember bringing this into the house. [He picks it up and looks at it] Man this thing is ancient.

[Action]

[Nagi comes downstairs to get a snack and stares at Ken silently for a moment]

Do you even remember where that ball came from?

[Action]

[weiss_tank]

[Huh? Oh shit! You startled him. Ken gives Nagi a wary look, expecting another attack. He only relaxes a little when he isn't instantly suffocating or flying across the room.]

What do you mean Prodigy. [Come on Nagi, you can't expect him to remember this exact soccer ball, can you?]

[Action]

[bittermayfly]

It was mine at Sister's.

[weiss_tank]

Yours at...[He takes another look at the ball and gets the classic 'dawn breaks over marble head' look on his face.]

Oh. So it is.

[Action]

[bittermayfly]

I don't know why I got that, of all things, back.

[Action]

[weiss_tank]

Hmf. [He walks over and holds out the ball to Nagi] Not gonna touch that issue with a ten foot pole.

You should put it away.

[Action]

[bittermayfly]

I don't want it -- it's not like I know how to play soccer.

[Action]

[weiss_tank]

The town isn't going to let you get rid of it you know. Just stick it in your closet or somethin'.

[He would have offered to teach him again, but Ken was still rather angry about December.]

[Action]

[bittermayfly]

You can have it.

[Action]

[weiss_tank]

[Have a look of surprise Nagi]

I can? Why don't you want it Naoe? I mean...I thought Sister's was a happy place for you.

[Action]

[bittermayfly]

It was happy until you broke first one promise and then another.

[Not teaching him soccer is most of what Nagi sees in his mind when he sees that ball.]

[Action]

[weiss_tank]

Right...that promise...[IDEA! He is going to regret this, but once again his mouth has started working before his brain has.]

Hey. I can still teach you ya know.

[Action]

[bittermayfly]

...why would you want to?

[Nagi is honestly confused.]

Re: [Action]

[weiss_tank]

In all honesty? I need something to occupy my brain until Miakis and Aya come back.

Also, it would do you good to be out side! Sheesh do you think the sun is going to bite you or something?!

[Action]

[bittermayfly]

I get sunburned easily.
